Pirate it, don’t give the thieving publishers a cent.

Terraria is another example of the handful of games that actually provide free continuous content over their lifetime, same goes for Stardew Valley. Fact is that’s the extreme minority of games and when it comes to strategy games, Rimworld and DF are the only ones.

I’d put all these games on the same tiny arse pedestal of good value, and I’m happy paying $20 every few years to support a dev to keep doing what they do.

Attacking them over 99% of the rest of the industry is fucking stupid however.

Wow so because the devs have contiously added to the game over the past 6 years, that calling the base game the base game is no longer viable? That is the stupidest take I’ve heard in a while. Where do you think the funds come from to support a game with new content for over 6 years? The fucking expansions.

Please share with us your idea of a game worth it’s value? I’m dying to know what you think is worthy if not RimWorld of all fucking games.

No, the full base game is $35. You’re being intentionally dishonest by pretending it’s not.

Please share your idea of a game worth its cost.

ChatGPT says otherwise:

When you arrange them in order of release, they spell out “R.O.Y.G.B.I.V,” which is an acronym for the colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. This was a deliberate choice by the developers to create a mnemonic device to remember the order of the colors in a rainbow. Here’s the breakdown:

R: RimWorld Base Game
O: RimWorld: Royalty
Y: RimWorld: Ideology
G: RimWorld: Royalty (added content)
B: RimWorld: Ideology (added content)
I: RimWorld: Ideology (another added content)
V: RimWorld: Royalty (another added content)

The game is $35 USD, not $100.

Nor do you have to buy the DLC if you think $20 a year is too much for you. For me I’m more than happy to pay such a low cost for the thousands of hours of entertainment this game provides.

Rimworld offers more than almost any other game does on a dollar/hour basis. I’ll take “lazy graphics” over the latest bullshit AAAA GaaS MMOFPSRPG Survival Horror with it’s $30 lootbox battlepass and $20 recoloured skins bullshit that is released.
